Endowed Book Funds at the <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
Endowed book funds provide deep collectionbuilding<br />
to support advanced research. Several<br />
hundred donors – alumni, families, and others –<br />
have created focused acquisition funds in beloved<br />
subjects to enable the <strong>Libraries</strong> to collect in<br />
depth and breadth. Without these enduring gifts,<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong>’s research and educational resources<br />
would not have attained the level of distinction we<br />
now almost take for granted. Endowment income<br />
currently provides more than one quarter of our<br />
total acquisitions budget. A minimum gift of<br />
$25,000 makes this program the most accessible<br />
of all named endowments at <strong>Stanford</strong>; successive<br />
gifts often span generations.<br />
For more information about endowing a book fund<br />
and for current subject needs suggested by subject<br />
specialists, please contact the Library Development<br />
Office at 650-723-3866.<br />
